Challenge 01
A Theme Stretched Past Its Limits
Every new requirement means another plugin, and the site gets slower and more brittle each time.
DESIGNED FOR YOUR BUSINESS, NOT A TEMPLATE
Custom Web Design A site designed around how people actually buy.
Bespoke design and development on a component system your team can extend, built to performance, accessibility, and conversion standards agreed before the first pixel.
A template gets you a website. A design system gets you a website plus every page you have not thought of yet, built to the same standard without another design invoice.
Orka Digital has designed and built custom websites for Australian businesses since 2009, including Embrace Ability, Beyond Care Australia and the Eco Care Group online store, working from St Marys in Western Sydney.

Signs You Need Custom Web Design
Three signs this is the right conversation to be having.
Challenge 02
Desktop-first In A Mobile-first Market
Most of your traffic is on a phone, but the layout was designed on a wide monitor.
Challenge 03
Dated Within Eighteen Months
The last rebuild followed a trend rather than a system, so it aged immediately.

Why Orka Digital
Our Edge
Three commitments that shape how we deliver this work.
Designed Around Your Business
Every site starts from your goals and customers, not from a theme stretched to fit.
Learn moreFast By Design
We set a performance budget at the start and test against it, because speed affects both rankings and sales.
Learn moreAccessible As Standard
Sites are built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a target, not added as an afterthought.
Learn moreOur Process, Step By Step
Each stage produces something you can review, so nothing moves forward without your agreement.
Phase 01
Define
Sitemap, content model, template list, and the performance and accessibility targets we will hold to.
Phase 02
Design
Build the component system, then compose templates from it and review with real content in place.
Phase 03
Develop
Code the system, integrate the CMS, and connect forms, analytics, and third party tools.
Phase 04
Launch
Full QA, staged migration, redirects, monitoring, and post-launch support while traffic settles.
Phase 05
Support
After launch we fix any issues, train your team and offer ongoing care if you want it.

Have a different question?
Our experts are ready to audit your online presence and guide your path forward.
Get in TouchFor a simple brochure site, a good theme is a sensible choice. Once you need custom journeys, integrations, or performance guarantees, a theme costs more to bend than a system costs to build.
Roughly a workshop plus a review session each fortnight. Content is usually the critical path, so we plan it early.
Yes. Migration, redirect mapping, and a post-launch crawl to catch anything broken are part of the scope.
A warranty period, then optional care under Web Hosting for updates, monitoring, backups, and small changes.
Yes. Every template is editable, and we train your team before launch.
Not if the move is handled properly. We map every old page to its new address and redirect it.
